What Does Awareness Mean To Me | @TribeSteemUp Question
Here’s my submission for the @tribesteemup Bi-Weekly Question, What does awareness mean to me?
As I’m out here picking wild blackberries, I’m painfully conscious and aware of sensations like sun, thorns and wind.
I’m considering what awareness means and I realize a large part of it is about feedback. I see Awareness as a web of interconnected relationships, sensations and feelings, and the intersection of those is what I call awareness.
I am aware of what I feel, aware of my past experiences and understand that this awareness is based on relationships. A relationship to place, a relationship to time and space, and a relationship to my body brain and spirit.
The Awareness I gain from listening to my body allows me to be more connected and I adjust my thoughts and actions accordingly. I see awareness as an aspect of a feedback loop, where the universe is communicating through my nervous system, my cognition and my body.
Awareness is also a process. It is a part of becoming human by deepening perspective and awareness.

Lovely berries and nice post. Awareness to me is kind of like being in the moment. Aware of your body, your surroundings, what is going on right now. Have to quiet the mind of other thoughts to get there.
a quiet mind makes fertile soil for awareness indeed.
yes. like you said - all of this is life. the full spectrum. awareness is key. all to often i get stuck in thoughts and rhythms elsewhere. patterns of the past. 'things' i need to do. hoping your car troubles clear up!
Without awareness life isn't as real or true. I know I fall into this pattern sometimes when life gets hard. ya know not giving the full awareness to the harder stuff... with so may "things" to do i find it helpful to give some space to NOT thinking about them. - ini
Yes awareness is connection, it is allowing ourselves to be in that web of connection that we are so fortunate to have, so many chose not to be within it, but when you are it is the magic of life. Great answer Ini I agree 100% as always, enjoy those blackberries xxx
Well said. The magic happens indeed. Thanks for the positive feedback.

Thanks for you support @opeyemil, happy you enjoy our content. Just so you know I (ini) share this account with my female partner (Wren).
It's a good question.
One of the most profound realisations I ever had was that 'anxiety' and 'excitement' are basically the same root emotion - the former 'I' don't like, the later 'I' do.
Years after realising this I read Bikkhu Bhodhi's (spelling may be off) Noble 8 fold path where he said the same thing.
However realising it for your 'self' counts for so much more!
That's awareness - it's realising things at a deeper level. Beyond 'knowing'.
